Dcbattne che land BtlI.

LONDON, July l2.-Dillon resumed the de-
bate on the land bill in the commons to- night,
attacking the clauses of the bill seriatim. He
declared that the first, dealing with the case
OF leaseholders, was the only one which
promised to be beneficial in its operations.
The others would make evictions easy, de-
strov the confidence of the tenantry in the
land courts, and place In the hands of the
landlords new and terribly irresistible en-
gine Of eviction. 7. w. Russell, liberal, said
the bill was adelusion as regards evlctions,
closing one door upon the power of the land
lords to evict only to open another.
Shaw Lefeyere, home rule liberal, said the
bankruptcy clauses ought to be dropped. for
they would benefit nobody but the rapacious
landlord. The bill would only aggravate the
very evils 1t was intended TO cure. Upon
motion OF Lord Randolph Churchill the de-
bate adjourned.

JEFF DAVIS ROT.
General Pryor and Governor Curtin
DenOunce the Latest story.

NEW York, July 12.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. l-General Roger A. Pryor, who
was a member of tae confederate congress.
spoke to a Herald reporter yesterday OF the
dispatch In which Jefferson Davis was repre-
rented as charging that plot was laid by
northern officials during the war to assassi-
nate the president of the coDfederacy. Gem
eral Pryor denounced the story OF the alleged
assassination as ridiculous on its very face','
"Did you ever hear of any such attempt"'
was asked.
III never heard of the circumstance here
detailed"
"Do you believe them to be true?'
mo; because I do n OF believe any person
holding responsible position in the north
would hire an assassin to cone down and
kill Davis, and because 1 have no evidence
that Davis made these statements"
"If he did make them, would you believe
them?
mo, should believe he was mistaken in
supposing an attempt was made to assassin
ate him."
"Were you in a position at the time re-
ferred to to have heard of such an attempt?"
"Yes, was in Richmond as a member of
the confederate congress. The narrative does
not sound like Mr.. Davis. lie was not q
boastful man, and there Is a tone of bragga-
dOciO in 1t that Is not characteristic Of HIM.
An attempt to assassinate the president Of
the confederacy would have been heard of
and would have shocked the whole confed-
eracy."
In regard to the charges made In the Davis
interview against Ex-Governor Curtin, Of
Pennsylvania, in response to an inquiry
from the editor OF the Herald, the war gov
ernor makes the following statement:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July Ito the Edi.
| tor of the Herald: Your dispatch reached
| me just as l was leaving my home to come
| here. Accept my thanks for 1t. There Is
not one word of truth in what is said to have
been uttered by Jefferson Davis about me.
| l never pardoned desperate with the under
| standing that he would assaSsinate MIR. Davis,
| and l had not the money personally and
| could not have taken from the treasury the
| sum he alleges to have been the reward,
| which he states to have been 100000 Dur
| ing the war | represented the unan imous
disposition of the people of Pennsylvania
| to maintain the government by honor
able warfare, and not by assassination.
Those who know me will not believe Mr..
| Davis announcement and it is surprising TO
| cept the information given to him by an
anonymous correspondent. 1t has not been
my habit to correct newspaper allegations,
| but as this Is contained In paper of the i'd
| huence of the New York Herald deem it
| my duty to make this emphatic contradiction
| and denial, not only Of this charge, but to
| say that never resorted to such means for
the conduct of the war, so far as | had any
| agency in it." (SignedD A. G. CURTIN.
